Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, avocado, vegan sour cream

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
3. Add diced sweet potato and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender.
4. Stir in black beans and heat through.
5. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup until desired consistency is reached. Alternatively, carefully transfer some of the soup to a regular blender and blend until smooth. Return to the pot.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like chopped cilantro, avocado, or vegan sour cream.

Tips and Variations:

• For a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped jalapeno.
• Add other vegetables like corn, bell peppers, or zucchini.
• Top with toasted pumpkin seeds for added crunch and nutrients.
• If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender in batches, being careful to vent the lid to prevent pressure buildup.
